I started using this book for my 7 year old and 5 year old. It is very short yet effective lessons. I am surprised that they have not complained once about it! It is very much worth the price. My 7 year old boy hates writing, so this book is perfect because there is minimal writing involved at this level and when there is, we use a white board. Even my 2 year old is memorizing the poems! I also love that it is not consumable.

My son and I have enjoyed working through this book. Since my son isn't reading proficiently, FLL method of oral learning with me reading to him assures me his grammar isn't being left on the back burner but rather building blocks of essential grammar know how are well established to memory.

So far we've used "First Language Lessons" 1,2, and 3, and we can't imagine a better grammar curriculum. The pace is slow and steady, with plenty of repetition, yet deftly lacking superfluity. The explanations of lessons are so comprehensive as to require no prerequisite knowledge by the parent for the given lesson. The author is meticulous in her presentation, commencing with the basics, and expertly revealing components of increasing complexity at just the right time, revealing the grand design of (English) grammar imbued in us by our Creator ( and perhaps tweaked here and there by people). We love it and highly recommend it!

This has been a great addition to our homeschool. My son loves these lessons. We try to add a little extra creativity to them (like turning the Caterpillar poem into an actual caterpillar craft, and then writing the poem on each part of the caterpillar's body...) My boys tend to enjoy that type of learning, so I love that we are easily able to add that in on our own. These lessons don't take very long to do either. I highly recommend! Wish I would have used this when my oldest son was in 1st grade.

I borrowed this book from a friend and decided that I really wanted to use it in my homeschool. This book teaches language and grammar in a very quick, clean, and methodical way. No nonsense or busy work.

To add in early years in conjunction with Classical Conversations and AAR curriculums. Like how it dives a bit deeper into the grammatical concepts to explore many of the english elements we memorize each week in CC.

BEST ANSWER:No, this is basically a teachers manual and student book combined. The lessons are a scripted dialogue between you and your student. Some of the lessons assign copy work, but that is optional and would be done in a separate notebook. This is not a curriculum that has worksheets to complete. I have found it to be a very effective and gentle intro to grammar, and a nice change of pace after completing a math page.

Nope! First Language Lessons is the instructors text. There is no student workbook. It is basically a script of the conversations that teacher will have with their student. First Language Lessons is very teacher friendly and is a gentle introduction to grammar.

No. The book is actually for the teacher. It is scripted lessons. You would want a notepad or a dry erase board for you to demonstrate, and a notebook for your student to write on. Very easy to use and engaging for students.

No, this essentially is a teacher's manual. It scripts every lesson out for you. The lessons do not take long but by the end of the year you have covered a good bit of ground. We plan to continue with it.
